oh ye of little faith!

I read about a story where this happened. The pilots quickly 
found the plane uncontrollable to the point where they asked for 
vectors to ditch into the ocean so the crash wouldn't hurt 
anybody on the ground at least... but they couldn't even control 
it well enough to successfully navigate out there. They kept 
flying in random directions and ended up over ground again, but 
had enough altitude to keep trying again.

After quite some time though, they actually recognized the 
"random, uncontrollable" aircraft actually was responding to 
their inputs in a predictable pattern, it was just all messed up. 
As they figured it out and learned how to fly with these bizarro 
controls, their initial panic subsided and they were able to 
successfully return to the airport for a safe landing!

(of course there are other similar stories without the happy 
ending so your point is good, but i like this story)
